About the 150 Wagon:
The Chevrolet One-Fifty (or 150) was the economy/fleet model of the
Chevrolet car from 1953 until 1957. It took its name by shortening
the production series number (1500) by one digit in order to
capitalize on the numerical auto name trend of the 1950s. The
numerical designation "150" was also sporadically used in company
literature. It replaced the Styleline Special model available in
previous years. This model was dropped following the 1957 model
year and replaced by the Delray.
The One-Fifty was mainly conceived as a fleet model and little
effort was spent marketing it to the average car buyer of the day,
although sales weren't limited to fleets. It was most popular with
police, state governments, small businesses, economy-minded
consumers and hot rodders. Chevrolet sold substantially fewer
One-Fifties than Two-Tens or the Chevrolet Bel Air in every year of
its life.
True to Chevrolet's vision, the 150 was no-frills basic
transportation. It had limited options, stark trim, solid colors,
plain heavy duty upholstery and rubberized flooring. Small things
like ashtrays, cigarette lighters and even mirrors were extra cost
options. Compared to the mid-level Two-Ten or premium Bel Air
models, the One-Fifty was stark and bland.
Body style choices were also limited to sedans, Handyman wagons,
four-door in 1953-1954, two-door in 1955-1957 and the club coupe.
The only body styles specific to the One-Fifty were decidedly fleet
oriented - the sedan delivery (a 2-door wagon without rear windows
and the rear seat removed) and the business sedan - a 2-door sedan
with immobile rear windows and back seat removed. Powertrain
choices were limited to manual transmissions and low output engines
until 1954. In 1957, a full race-ready version was also available,
commonly known as the "Black Widow" for its black-and-white paint
color. It was equipped with 4-wheel heavy-duty brakes, 6-lug wheels
and dual shock absorbers.
The 1955 model year marked the introduction of a new chassis, all
new streamlined single bow bodywork, and the debut of Chevrolet's
Small Block V8. The One-Fifty buyer was free to choose any
powertrain option available. The business sedan was renamed the
utility sedan this year. Unlike the 210 and the Bel Air, the 150
did not have any of the stainless steel trim.
New for 1957 was the 283 small-block V8. The 1957 150 had side trim
similar to the 1955's Bel Air trim.
